While it is our hope to have a consistent group of students who can learn together and develop a cohesive learning environment over time, we do not require anyone to commit to the entire school year.
Yes
At times it may be necessary for some light research or a portion of a project to be completed outside of class time but this will be minimal.
Yes. Each class will have at least one item taken home that may be submitted to your charter school but you should check with your HST to verify that work submitted meets their criteria.
This program is not intended to be a co-op per se, but rather a cohort style learning group focused on STEAM exploration.
Not at this time. It is our hope to add a middle school aged cohort in the future.
SciTech Academy is located at 745 N Gene Autry Trail, on the grounds of the Palm Springs Air Museum. Follow signs for "Berger Learning Annex."
